This product is a must for any police officer or for anyone that uses an in car computer. It's super fast and after you register it with Garmin they will ship you a free 2009 City Navigator MapSource Update DVD. Works great on Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 notebook. from Buy.com Hooked up the Garmin GPS 18 to my Compaq Presario V2000 in just a few minutes, plugged in the antenna, acquired satelites and was finding places... Took it on a test drive and listened to all the voice prompts and followed all the directions. from Buy.com You have the option to set the zoom as well as a wealth of other features. Even though the unit maintains contact with all satellites available, it warns every time it loses a satellite, giving the impression that it loses signal until you check the screen to find some satellite signals are still available. The unit comes with 2008 City Navigator North American map, but Garmin sent me the 2009 map free of charge within 7 days of registering the product; they did not even charge shipping. from Buy.com This is my second unit. My previous unit was 4 years old and I had abuse it by putting it on top of the car and shutting the cord in the window. I decided I needed a new puck, but when I went on Garmin's site they claim it is no longer available. I received an Ad from buy.com with it listed at $50. from Buy.com It installed easily, is powered off the USB bus, and works as advertised. The nRoute City Navigator software, with USB driver, comes on a single disc, is labeled 2008, and seems up to date. The only negative I can find is the fact it has no NMEA output, it's strictly GARMIN protocol all the way. I am surprised that anyone can build and market a functional GPS routing product for laptops at such a remarkably low price! from Buy.com This is a great product at a great price. Read the reviews--there's something wrong with Garmin's XT Mobile for SmartPhones, but there's nothing wrong with this product. It comes with City Navigator 2008 rev.9 (version 2.7.6), and installs easily. from Buy.com The USB interface allows my Dell XPS M140 Laptop to be a backup unit to my recently purchased C330 and C550 Garmin StreetPilot GPS units. I had tried for over two years to utilize my Laptop to other Garmin Marine GPS units but the Garmin Serial to UBS cords would never work. from Walmart.com I have 2 other Garmin units in our vehicles and we are pleased with them. This unit came with outdated software but Garmin responded quickly to rectify that. from Walmart.com I bought this receiver for my APRS setup in the car. I have its older brother GPS on my pickup and its been running for years. from Amazon.com Mi primer garmin fue un etrex vista, hace ya unos cuantos anios, la pantalla dejo de funcionar y ya era hora de comprar uno nuevo, mi campo de uso para el gps es turismo de aventura en vehiculos 4x4, queria un gps que tuviese una buena vision del mapa, y al mismo tiempo una amplia gama de posibilidades. Para esta opcion se tiene que gastar entre $300 a $400. from Amazon.com
